For Belgian vlogger Tobias Le Compte, mastering a local dialect is probably the best way to learn Chinese culture. He fell in love with Shanghai after first visiting in 2008. He embraced the city so fully that learning its dialect - Shanghainese - became a passion. By sharing videos of speaking Shanghainese, he has gained a big following on Chinese social media. Speaking the local dialect has become a part of his life, just as Shanghai owns a piece of his heart.
